This page is mainly about the cons of animal testing, while trying to maintain a unbiased viewpoint. Animal testing is the use of animals for research, either for cosmetic or medical research. There is much arguement about how the animals are treated during testing, but the general facts are that aniamls are tested against inhumanely and are used for unrealistic purposes like cosmetics. Animal testing for both cosmetics and medicines can be risky because the animal that they're using to test on could react differently to a chemical or substance then a humon or other animal could. This whole situation is frustrating to many, especially because there are many alternate ways to test products and medicines for future human use. One form of alernative testing is "synthetic skin" called Corrositex.
